Serves 4

* Dressing
* 1/4 cup light ranch dressing
* 1/4 cup mild green salsa
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
* Salad
* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1 pound thin chicken breast slices or chicken tenders
* 1 lime, quartered
* 6 cups shredded romaine lettuce
* 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
* 1/2 cup corn kernels
* 1 medium tomato, chopped
* 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

Directions
1.
To make the dressing: In a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing, salsa, and cilantro until blended. Cover and refrigerate.

Grill the chicken, turning once, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it is no longer pink and the juices run clear. Transfer to a plate. Squeeze the lime over the cooked chicken.
